Dozens Arrested in Greece for Arson, Creating the Most Recent Climate Hoax Wildfires
-
Greece has called out "arsonist scum" after police made 79 arson arrests over wildfires ravaging the country.
-
Civil Protection Minister Vassilis Kikilias said there had been several attempts by arsonists to start new fires on Mount Parnitha, north-west of Athens.
-
The blaze is one of hundreds in the nation where wildfires have already killed at least 20 people this week.
-
"You are committing a crime against the country," Mr Kikilias said.
-
"Arsonist scum are setting fires that threaten forests, property and, most of all, human lives," Mr Kikilias told Greeks during a televised emergency briefing on Thursday.
-
"You will not get away with it, we will find you, you will be held accountable."
-
Summer wildfires are common in Greece and scientists have linked the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, including heatwaves, to climate change.
-
Stefan Doerr, who directs the Centre for Wildfire Research at Swansea University, says that more flammable landscapes - due to hot weather or poor vegetation management - mean that arson and other incidents can more easily turn into fast-moving wildfires.
